THE  ART  OF 

WINDOW  DRAPING  f  ' 


KE  all  other  arts,  the  art  of  window  draping  consists, 

Tl  .  .  ,  .  .  ,  .  .  ,  .  .  . 


chiefly,  of  putting  the  right  thing  in  the  right  place. 
.  .  .  .  .  ,  ... 


other  item  of  home  decoration  offers  such 
wide  scope  for  the  exercise  of  good  taste  within  the 
limits  of  moderate  cost.  For  the  beauty  of  a  curtain 
is  not  in  its  intrinsic  value  but  in  its  design  and  in  the  skill  with 
which  it  is  draped  to  meet  the  two-fold  requirements  of  serving  its 
purpose  usefully,  and  harmonizing  with  the  room. 


Points  to  be  considered 

In  choosing  the  material  and  determining  the  style  of  hanging,  several 
points  must  be  considered.  The  architecture  of  the  window  is  impor¬ 
tant;  so  also  is  the  interior  decoration  of  the  room.  If  the  room 
is  dark  the  curtain  must  let  in  daylight.  If  there  is  a  flood  of  sun¬ 
light,  it  will  be  necessary  to  tone  down  the  glare.  A  window  directly 
on  the  street  or  commanded  by  the  windows  of  near  neighbors  must 
be  screened  to  secure  privacy  without  excluding  light.  There  are 
appropriate  styles  for  living-rooms,  others  for  dining-rooms,  still  others 
for  bedrooms,  the  latter  including  a  number  of  designs  that  make 
attractive  bed  covers.  It  is  to  assist  in  the  solution  of  such  problems 
that  this  volume  has  been  prepared. 

Characteristic  Windows 

Obviously,  it  is  impossible  to  show  every  variety  of  window  in  every 
room  in  the  house.  It  is  equally  impossible  to  show  all  of  the  many 
attractive  ways  of  hanging  curtains,  or  the  thousands  of  beautiful 
designs  offered  by  Scranton  Laces,  Curtains  and  Filet  Nets.

'  In  these  pages  the  attempt  has  been  rather  to  illustrate  the  most 

I  general  types  of  windows,  and  to  suggest  for  each,  one  good  up-to- 

I  date  method  of  draping  curtains,  together  with  three  Scranton  designs 

I  which  would  be  suitable  for  such  a  window. 

It  is  our  hope  that  not  only  will  the  actual  illustrations  be  of  direct 
assistance  to  many  women  in  deciding  upon  the  draping  of  their  own 
I  windows,  but  also  that  the  book  as  a  whole  will  serve  to  demonstrate 

I  the  fact  that  it  is  always  possible  to  find  the  right  curtain  for  any  window. 

['  Write  to  our  Service  Department

An  Entrance  with  Character 


Character  and  dignity  are  as  desirable 
in  the  outward  appearance  of  the 
home  as  they  are  essential  to  the 
bearing  of  a  self-respecting  person. 
Here  is  a  treatment  of  an  entrance 
door  that  has  both  of  these  qualities. 
It  is  of  English  derivation. 

A  simple  net  is  drawn  tautly  on  a  ^s- 
inch  brass  rod  placed  just  above  and  be¬ 
low  the  glass  (see  A  in  the  diagram). 
Back  of  this  is  hung  a  puffed  shade 
made  of  soft  silk  which  can  be  raised 
or  lowered  as  occasion  demands. 

The  fan-shaped  glass  panel  above  the 
door  is  screened  with  a  shirring  of 
net  of  the  same  design  as  used  on  the 
door.  A  light  wooden  frame  about 
2'/2  inches  wide  is  made  the  exact 
shape  and  size  of  the  opening  (see 
B).  The  net  is  tacked  to  the  curved 
edge  of  the  frame  and  then  drawn 
to  the  center,  where  a  small  rosette 
of  the  net  is  used  to  cover  the 
uneven  edges.

No.  11968. — Another  popular  shadow

weave:  36  inches  wide;  white,  ivory 
or  natural. 


No.  12895.— An  effective  shadow  pat* 
tern;  medium  erade:  regular  weave; 
40  inches  wide:  white,  ivory  or  natural. 


No.  11352.— Still  another  attractive 
shadow  pattern  in  the  better  grade:  46 
inches  wide;  white,  ivory  or  natural. 


The  Colonial  Entrance  Hall 


First  impressions  of  people  are  lasting, 
and  are  often  the  determining  factors 
in  friendships.  So  first  impressions  of 
our  homes  give  a  keynote  to  the  tastes 
of  the  occupants. 

For  this  reason  it  is  of  paramount  im¬ 
portance  that  the  nets  or  laces  selected 
for  the  entrance  door  be  of  a  char¬ 
acter  that  will  lend  a  pleasing  dignity 
to  the  entrance. 

When  small  patterned  nets  are  sliirred 
top  and  bottom  on  rods  as  shown, 
about  75  per  cent,  should  be  allowed 
for  fullness.  A  1-inch  heading  is  used 
above  and  below  the  casing  in  which 
the  ^-inch  brass  rod  is  slipped. 

A  light,  wooden  frame  (see  A  in  the 
diagram)  is  made  which  exactly  fits 
inside  the  trim  of  the  fan-shaped  tran¬ 
som.  The  net  is  tacked  to  the  outer 
edge  of  this  frame  and  drawn  tautly 
to  the  center  of  the  lower  edge  where 
it  is  finished  with  a  rosette  of  the  net.

Corner  of  Library 


The  hangings  for  the  windows 
shown  in  the  sketch  have  been 
planned  with  the  idea  of  forming  a 
decorative  frame  for  the  window 
group  without  excluding  light. 

The  sheer  net  curtains  are  hung  from 
a  fixture  carrying  two  rods.  By  plac¬ 
ing  this  rod  fixture  on  the  trim  of 
the  window,  the  net  curtains  which 
hang  from  the  inner  rod  fall  over 
the  wooden  strip  separating  the  win¬ 
dows  and  thus  give  a  soft,  filmy  effect 
to  the  entire  window  space. 

The  overdraperies  chosen  are  of 
brown  marquisette.  The  valance  is  of 
figured  cretonne  having  a  soft  brown 
background  color.  This  valance  is 
made  over  a  stiff  buckram  and  tacked 
to  a  flat  wooden  cornice  (see  A  in 
pen  sketch)  by  the  use  of  tape,  which 
is  sewed  at  the  back  of  the  valance 
about  ^2  inch  from  the  upper  edge. 
The  lower  edge  of  the  tape  is  left 
free  in  order  that  this  may  be  turned 


back  and  tacked  to  the  top  of  the 
board  (see  B  in  pen  sketch).  The 
tie-backs  for  the  curtains  are  made  of 
cretonne.

medium  priced  Filet  Net;  43  inches

The  Window  in  the  Library 


The  net  for  this  type  of  library  win¬ 
dow  should  be  plain  or  very  simple 
in  design.  At  the  large  central  win¬ 
dow  the  semi-draped  treatment  may 
be  effectively  used,  while  at  the  small 
side  windows  the  net  should  fall  per¬ 
fectly  straight,  reaching 
just  to  the  window  sjll. 

A  Ji-inch  brass  rod  can 
be  bent  to  con¬ 
form  with  the  top 
of  the  circular  win¬ 
dow  A  bracket 
fixture  is  needed 
to  hold  the  rod  at 
thecentral  window 
(see  A  in  the  dia¬ 
gram),  while  a 
socket  fixture  is 
used  at  the  small 
side  windows  (see 
B).  A  semi-draped 


effect  is  obtained  at  the  central  win¬ 
dow  by  running  a  small  cord,  the 
color  of  the  net,  through  small  ivory 
rings  sewed  to  the  back  of  the  cur¬ 
tains.  The  cord  is  slipped  through  a 
ring  screwed  to  the  jamb  of  the  win¬ 
dow  (see  C)  and  the  cur¬ 
tain  drawn  back  as  desired. 

The  dotted  line  indicates 
the  curtain  when 
adjusted.  The 
curtains  at  the  top 
are  made  with  a 
1-inch  heading 
above  the  casing. 
The  center  edges 
should  have  a  1- 
inch  hem  and 
the  bottom  a  2- 
inch  hem — 75  per 
cent,  being  al¬ 
lowed  for  fullness.

No.  10622. -An  especially  popular  Filet 
Net;  lower  priced  grade;  30  and  36 
inches  wide;  white,  ivory  or  natural. 


No.  13132.-' Casement  Net  showing 
small  square  figure:  30  and  46  Inches  io 
width;  white,  ivory  or  natural. 


Over  the  Built-in  Bookcases 


The  best  choice  of  nets  for  casement 
windows  above  built-in  bookcases 
are  those  showing  small  patterns. 
The  curtains  should  hang  perfectly 
straight  and  just  clear  the  top  of  the 
bookcase. 

The  net  shown  in  the  illustration  is 
woven  with  a  strong  edge  so  well 
designed  that  no  other  finish  is  neces¬ 
sary  A  loose  casing  made  at  the  top 
through  which  the  rod  is  run,  and  a 
2-inch  hem  at  the  bottom  is  all  the 
sewing  required  before  the  curtains 
are  ready  to  hang  F requently  the  sides 
of  the  net  are  finished 
with  simply  a  selvedge 
edge.  When  such  a 
net  is  chosen,  a  1-inch 
hem  should  be  made 


Overdraperies  at  this  type  of  casement 
window  are  almost  indispensable- 
First, — they  take  the  place  of  shades 
and  should  be  wide,  so  that  when 
drawn  they  will  cover  the  entire  win¬ 
dow  Second, — they  add  a  charming 
bit  of  color  and  decoration  to  the 
room.  These  overdraperies  are  made 
with  a  pinch-pleated  heading,  back  of 
which  are  sewed  brass  rings,  which 
slip  easily  on  the  rod. 

The  fixture  carries  two  rods  (see  A 
m  the  diagram)  from  which  the  net 
and  overdraperies  are  hung.

French  Doors  and  Transoms 


When  the  glass  in  French  doors  is 
divided  into  small  panes,  the  pattern 
showing  in  the  net  hangings  should 
be  small  and  inconspicuous. 

Unless  transoms  are  stationary,  the 
net  should  be  held  in  place  by  small 
flat  brass  rods  which  are  placed  at 
both  the  top  and  bottom  of  the  sash 
about  1  inch  beyond  the  glass  open¬ 
ing.  A  1-inch  heading  is  used  above 
and  below  the  casing  holding  the 
rods.  The  net  on  the  door  is  held 
tautly  in  place  by  the  use  of  the  flat 
brass  rods.  An  allowance  of  75  per 
cent,  should  be  made  for  fullness. 
The  purpose  of  the  overdrapery  is  to 
add  color  to  the  furnishings  and  close 
the  view  from  without  when  neces¬ 
sary.  These  are  made  wide  enough 
to  cover  the  entire  window  space 
when  drawn,  and  are  finished  at  the 
top  with  a  French  heading.

A  Colonial  Livino:-Room 


The  ivory  tones  of  the  woodwork  in 
this  Colonial  living-room  furnish  a 
setting  for  the  simplest  of  hangings. 
The  net  curtains  fall  straight  to  the 
sill  from  a  |^-inch  brass  rod  (see  A 
in  the  diagram).  The  rod  is  run 
through  a  1-inch  casing  at  the  top, 
above  which  is  a  1-inch  heading. 


Two  widths  are  used  at  the  center 
window,  and  one  width  only  at  the 
side  windows.  A  1-inch  hem  is  used 
down  the  center  edges,  a  2j^-inch 
hem  at  the  bottom  and  a  simple  roll 
hem  at  the  back  edges.  The  tran¬ 
som  curtains  are  made  in  the  same 
manner. 


The 


overdraperies  are  meant  to  take 
the  place  of  shades,  and  are 
made  with  a  2l^-inch 
pinch-pleated  heading. 
Back  of  the  pleats  are 
rings  which  slip  easily 
upon  the  pole,  making 
it  simple  to  operate  the 
curtain,  which  should 
cover  the  entire  window 
when  drawn.  The  brass 
rod  carrying  the  over¬ 
draperies  is  placed  on 
the  trim  (see  B).

A  Formal  Living  Room 


Filet  nets  of  period  de¬ 
sign  lend  dignity  to  the 
formal  treatment  of  this 
living-room. 

When  windows  are  re¬ 
cessed,  as  shown  by  the 
sketch,  one  pair  of  net 
curtains  should  be  hung 
close  to  the  glass  and 
reach  just  to  the  sill  (see 
A  in  pen  sketch).  At  the 
top  a  1-inch  heading  is 
made  above  a  loose  cas¬ 
ing  which  holds  the  fl¬ 
inch  brass  rod.  A  1-inch 
hem  is  turned  at  the  cen¬ 
ter  edges,  a  3-inch  hem 
across  the  bottom  and  a 
roll  hem  at  the  back 
edges.  The  overdrap¬ 
eries  are  hung  on  the 
outside  of  the  recess.  A 
wooden  frame  supported 
by  angle  irons  holds  the 


curtain  rod  and  serves  as 
a  frame  to  which  the 
valance  is  tacked  (see  B 
in  pen  sketch). 

Usually  the  overdrapery 
is  hung  from  a  j4-inch 
brass  tubing,  although 
this  detail  depends  en¬ 
tirely  upon  the  weight 
of  the  material  used.  In 
formal  rooms  of  the  type 
sketched,  the  overdrap¬ 
ery  should  be  lined  and 
therefore  requires  heav¬ 
ier  rods  than  the  unlined, 
less  formal  type. 

The  valance  is  made 
over  a  very  stiff  buck¬ 
ram  and  is  tacked  to  the 
wooden  frame  with  tacks 
covered  with  the  same 
material  as  the  draperies.

The  treatment  of  the  living-room  of 
the  solarium  type  should  be  partic¬

effect  is  to  be  obtained.  The  wide 
window  expanses  of  such  rooms,  ad- 
nutting  c,'3  they  do  a  veritable  flood  of 
sunlight,  afford  an  excellent  oppor¬ 
tunity  for  the  hanging  of  simple  nets. 
A  fixture  carrying  two  rods  is  placed 


upon  the  trim  of  the  windows.  On 
the  inside  rod  is  hung  the  decorative 
Filet  Net  and  on  the  outer  the  over¬ 
drapery  of  gaily  colored  cretonne. 
The  pinch-pleated  valance  is  tacked 
to  a  flat  wooden  board,  which  is  placed 
on  the  window  trim  just  above  the 
rods  carrying  the  nets  and  side  cur¬

Casement  Windows  Opening  Inward 


One  has  very  little  choice  in  the  way 
to  treat  casement  windows  which 
are  hung  to  open  into  the  room. 
If  the  windows  are  to  be  operated 
with  ease,  the  curtains  must  be  held 
firmly  in  place.  This  can  be  done  by 
shirring  the  net  on 
l^-inch  brass  rods 
placed  at  the  top 
and  bottom  of  the 
window  frame. 

If  a  Filet  Net  is 
chosen,  allow  75  per 
cent,  for  fullness. 

A  1-inch  heading 
is  made  above  and 
below  the  casing  in 
which  the  rod  is 
run  and  the  net 
drawn  in  place. 

It  is  true  that  over- 
draperies  always  add 


a  charming  bit  of  color  to  any  room 
and  these  are  sometimes  used  at  the 
ends  of  a  casement  group.  But  as  a 
rule,  one  should  rely  upon  upholstery 
materials,  table  runners,  lamp  shades, 
etc.,  for  the  touches  of  color.

Casement  Windows  Opening  Out 


As  the  sun-room  in  the  modern  home 
is  so  universally  used,  it  is  most  im¬ 
portant  that  the  windows  should  be 
curtained  in  a  manner  that  will  per¬ 
mit  good  ventilation,  and  at  the  same 
time  lend  to  them  the  charm  so 
essential  in  rooms  of  this  character. 
The  sketch  shows  the  use  of  net  in 
roller  shades.  When  the  casements 


BtHIl 


are  opened,  it  is  a  very  simple  matter 
to  roll  the  shades  above  the  window 
opening  and  thus  give  a  very  open 
effect  to  the  room.  The  side  curtains 
and  valance  shown  are  of  blue  mar¬ 
quisette.  As  this  material  is  sheer,  it 
excludes  very  little  air,  while  it  lends 
charm  to  the  treatment  by  softening 
the  outline  of  the  windows. 

When  the  window  casements 
swing  out,  the  shade  roller  is 
placed  on  the  window  trim 
(see  A  in  the  diagram).  This 
shade  is  made  and  operated  the 
same  asanordinaryroller shade. 
When  the  end  is  straight,  as 
shown  by  the  sketch,  a  flat 
brass  rod  covered  with  muslin 
is  slipped  in  the  hem.  This 
will  give  sufficient  weight  to 
hold  the  curtain  straight.  A 
4-inch  cotton  fringe  headed 
with  a  narrow  lace  edge  fin¬ 
ishes  the  end.

A  Nook  in  the  Living-Room 


For  groupings  of  various  sized  win¬ 
dows  the  panel  curtains  are  particularly 
adaptable.  The  design  is  so  carefully 
wrought  out  that  the  width  of  the  cur¬ 
tain  may  be  adjusted  to  many  sizes  of 
windows,  while  the  length  may  be 
similarly  adjusted  up  to  2}^  yards. 

These  are  hung  from  ,%-inch  brass 
rods  placed  on  the  window  jamb,  or 
they  may  be  placed  on  the'  trim  if  it  is 
advantageous  to  cover  the  woodwork. 


All  the  sewing  required  upon  such 
curtains  is  making  a  loose  casing  at  the 
top  through  which  the  rod  is  slipped. 
The  plain  overdrapery,  which  hangs 
straight  to  the  apron  of  the  sill,  serves 
to  accentuate  the  beauty  of  the  net. 
The  fixture  carrying  the  valance  and 
side  drapery  holds  two  rods.  From 
the  inner  one  hangs  the  side  curtains. 
To  the  outer,  the  valance  is  attached 
by  means  of  hooks.

English  Treatment  for  Double-hung  Window 


A  novel  treatment  for  a  double-hung 
window  is  a  separate  set  of  curtains 
for  the  upper  and  lower  sashes.  These 
are  hung  from  fa-inch  brass  rods 
placed  on  the  trim  of  the  window 
(see  A  in  the  diagram)  and  each  is 
made  with  a  1-inch  heading  above  the 
casing  at  the 
the  top,  a  1-inch 
hem  at  the  sides 
and  a  2-inch  hem 
across  the  lower 
edge.  Two 
widths  are  used 
at  each  window. 

One  width  of 
the  net  is  hung 
at  each  of  the 
French  doors. 

A  1-inch  hem 
is  used  at  tb.e 
sides,  and  the 
curtain  is  drawn 
tautly  in  place 


by  rods  which  are  placed  at  the  top 
and  bottom  about  one  inch  beyond 
the  glass  opening.  A  l-inch  heading 
is  used  above  and  below  the  casing. 
The  drapery  valance  is  mounted  upon 
a  flat  wooden  cornice  placed  on  the 
trim  and  held  fast  by  angle  irons  (see 
B).  The  draperies 
proper  are  hung 
from  af^-inch  brass 
rod  (see  C)  placed 
just  beneath  the 
cornice,  and  held 
back  with  tie-backs 
of  same  material.

pleated  heading.

of  the  pleats  (seeD)

When  Simplicity  is  Best 


One  of  the  most  frequent  problems 
met  with  in  the  dining-room  is  the 
row  of  several  casement  windows, 
flanked  on  either  side  by  a  long  win¬ 
dow.  In  such  cases  the  most  satis¬ 
factory  results  are  obtained  by  strict 
adherence  to  dainty  patterns  and  by 
making  the  curtains  and  overdraper¬ 
ies  as  simple  as  possible. 

The  Filet  Net  curtains  are  shirred  on 
a  %-inch  brass  rod  and  hang  straight 
to  the  sill.  These  are  drawn  back 
slightly,  though  the  panes  may  be 
covered  if  one  wishes. 

The  fixture  used  holds  two  rods  and 
therefore  carries  both  sets  of  curtains 
(see  A  in  the  diagram).  Upon  the 
outside  rod  is  hung  the  overdrapery, 
which  is  made  with  a  1-inch  heading 
above  the  casing,  a  1-inch  hem  at  the 
sides  and  a  3-inch  hem  across  the 
bottom.  The  draperies  at  the  case-

are  made  with  a  loose 
casing  at  top  without  heading,  a

a  2-inch  hem  at  the  bottom  and  a 
simple  roll  hem  at  the  back  edges.

FOR  VARIED  WINDOWS 


33 


The  Windows  Over  the  Buffet 


In  the  dining-rooms  of  a  great  many 
modern  dwellings  the  architects 
have  placed  a  group  of  windows 
above  built-in  furniture.  Such  win¬ 
dows  frequently  offer  an  opportunity 
for  pleasing  decorative  effects. 

The  group  of  casement  windows 
above  the  built-in  buffet  in  this  dining¬ 
room  has  been  curtained  with  one 
width  of  net  at  either  end  and  one 
width  over  each  mullion.  These  cur¬ 
tains  hang  straight  to  the  sill  and  are 
made  with  a  loose  casing  at  the  top 
which  is  to  hold  the  rod,  a  1-inch  hem 
at  the  sides  and  a  2^-inch  hem  across 
the  bottom  edge. 

The  overdrapery  is  used  simply  to 
outline  the  window  and  add  a  needed 
bit  of  color.  One  width  of  mulberry 
material  is  hung  at  either  end  of 
the  group.  A  shallow  pinch-pleated 
valance  carries  the  color  across  the 


top  and  forms  an  attractive  frame. 
The  overdraperies  and  nets  are  hung 
from  a  fi.xture  carrying-  two  fs-inch 


n 


.:d 


brass  rods  (see  A  in  the  diagram)  which 
are  fastened  to  the  trim  of  the  window. 
On  the  inner  rod  hang  the  net 
curtains  and  on  the  outer  the  over¬ 
drapery.  The  pinch-pleated  valance 
is  tacked  to  a  wooden  cornice  (see  B).

Casement  Nets  for  the  Breakfast-Room 


When  casement  windows  are  hinged 
to  swing  out,  casement  nets  hanging 
straight  to  the  sill  and  finished  across 
the  lower  edge  with  a  4-inch  bullion 
fringe,  lend  the  crisp,  dainty  touch  to 
the  window  treatment  that  combine 
so  well  with  the  painted  and  deco¬ 
rated  furniture  now  in  vogue. 

The  nets  and  overdrapery  are  hung 
from  a  fixture 
carrying  two  rods. 

The  wooden  cor¬ 
nice  board  to 
which  the  valance 
is  tacked  is  placed 
just  above  the  rods 
and  is  held  in  place 
by  angle  irons  (see 
A  in  pen  sketch) 

The  valance  is 
tacked  to  this  cor- 
board  by 


means  of  a  tape  which  is  sewed  on 
the  back  about  inch  from  the  top 
edge  (see  B  in  pen  sketch).  The 
lower  edge  is  left  loose  in  order  that 
it  may  be  turned  back  and  tacked  to 
the  top  of  the  board. 

The  table  runner  is  made  from  a 
panel  curtain,  the  edges  being  fin¬ 
ished  with  Ags.  tassels  and  lace.

The  Cheerful  Breakfast-Room 


Owing  to  the  diversity  of  size,  shape 
and  grouping  of  windows  in  the 
majority  of  breakfast  and  dining¬ 
rooms,  an  excellent  opportunity  is 
offered  for  the  display  of  originality 
and  individuality  in  the  hangings. 

Rooms  of  this  character  should,  above 
all  else,  radiate  cheerfulness.  The 
wall  spaces  are,  as  a  rule,  small,  so 
one  must  depend  largely  upon  the 
hangings  and  furnishings  for  color. 
It  is  for  just  such  rooms  that  the 
painted  and  decorated  furniture 
has  been  found  to  be  so  helpful  and 
pleasing.  — — jti — , 

A  pair  of  net  curtains  is  |j|  1 1  i 

hung  at  each  window.  j\  I 

Between  the  windows,  as  JcoiSirii! 
well  as  at  the  ends,  is  hung  one  width 
of  gaily  figured  cretonne.  A  shaped 
and  pleated  valance  is  made  to  extend 


over  each  group  of  windows.  This  is 
tacked  to  a  flat  wooden  board  (see  A 
in  the  diagram)  which  is  placed  on 
the  trim  of  the  window  just  above  a 
fixture  carrying  two  yi-inch  brass 
rods,  one  for  the  overdrapery  (see  B) 
and  one  for  the  net  (see  C). 

Pair  curtains  of  the  character  illus¬ 
trated  are  woven  2  hr  yards  in  length. 
All  the  sewing  required  is  the  making 
of  a  loose  casing  at  the  top  to  hold 
the  rod. 

This  treatment  will  produce  a  very 
attractive  and  desirable  effect.

For  the  Model  Kitchen 


Any  room  in  which  a  woman  must 
necessarily  spend  so  much  time  as  she 
spends  in  the  kitchen,  is  deserving  of 
the  very  best  planning.  The  archi¬ 
tects  of  today  are  giving  much  thought 
to  the  architectural  details 
of  the  kitchen  and  are  help¬ 
ing  to  solve  the  problem  of 
sanitation  and  convenience, 
and  to  some  extent,  the 
question  of  light.  But  the 
latter  is  still  largely  the 
housewife’s  problem  while 
theequally  important  matter 
of  affording  a  restful  center 
for  the  eyes,  is  entirely  so. 

The  kitchen  windowaffords 
just  such  a  center  and  it  is  important,’ 
therefore,  that  the  treatment  be  right. 
Sturdy  curtains  of  scrim,  voile  or  mar¬ 
quisette  will  withstand  the  inevitable 
steam  vapors  and  frequent  tubbings. 


These  are  made  from  32  to  35  inches 
in  width  and  lyi  yards  long.  The 
center  and  bottom  edges  are  finished 
with  a  2-inch  hemstitched  hem.  All 
the  sewing  required  is  the  making  of 


Tfi-rrf 


a  loose  casing  at  the  top,  above  which 
is  a  1-inch  heading.  The  curtains 
should  hang  straight  to  the  sill  from 
a  fa-inch  nickel  rod  supported  by 
projecting  brackets.

The  curtains  for  casement  windows 
having  a  stationary  transom,  are  hung 
straight  to  the  sill  from  %-mch  pro¬ 
jecting  brackets.  To  prevent  the  rod 
from  sagging  across  the  broad  sweep, 
a  support  should  be  used  at  either 
side  of  the  central  windows  (see  A 
in  the  diagram). 


A  single  curtain  is  hung  at  the  side 
windows  and  one  pair  hung  at  each 
of  the  other  windows  in  the  recess. 
At  top  the  curtains  have  a  l-inch 
heading  above  the  casing  carrying  the 
rod.  A  2-inch  hem  is  used  at  the 
center  edge  and  across  the  bottom. 
On  the  edge  is  placed  a  narrow  lace.

Lighten  Up  the  Hallway 


Special  thought  should  be  given  the 
treatment  of  every  hallway  window, 
in  order  that  a  maximum  amount  of 
light  may  be  admitted.  This  object 
can  best  be  attained  by  omitting  the 
overdraperies,  and  taking  especial  care 
to  select  the  right  kind  of  net. 

At  this  particular  window  a  sheer  net 
is  shirred  on  a  ^-inch  brass  rod  with 
a  1-inch  heading  above  the  casing, 
and  is  caught  back  about  of  the 
distance  from  the  top  in  soft  folds. 
A  touch  of  color  is  added  by  binding 
the  center  edges  and  bottom  with  a 
colored  taffeta  about  1  inch  in  width. 
The  tie-backs  are  made  of  the  same 
taffeta.  A  metal  rosette  (see  A  in  the 
diagram)  will  also  give  an  individual 
touch  if  used  in  the  place  of  the 
ordinary  invisible  hook.  A  simple 
roll  hem  is  used  at  the  back  edges 
of  the  curtains.  Seventy -five  per 
cent,  should  be  allowed  for  fullness.

A  Colonial  Bedroom 


Nets  and  cretonnes  are  effectively 
combined  in  the  dressing  of  this 
four-post  bed.  The  top  of  the  can¬ 


opy  is  filled  in  with  a  sunburst  of 
filet  net,  while  the  valance  and  side 
curtains  of  cretonne  are  faced  with 
loose  curtains  of  the  same  net,  edged 
with  lace.  For  the  covering  of  the 
bed  proper,  a  white  satin-finish  spread 
is  used. 

A  Maid-O-Net  curtain  of  the  same 
design  as  the  canopy  curtains  has 
been  chosen  for  use  next  to  the  glass. 
These  are  woven  yards  in  length 
and  are  already  hemmed  and  edged, 
thus  eliminating  much  of  the  labor 
usually  involved  in  making.  These 
curtains  hang  perfectly  straight  from 
a  ^-inch  brass  rod  and  just  clear 
the  window  sill.  A  fixture  carrying 
two  rods  is  placed  on  the  trim  of 
the  window,  the  net  is  placed  on 
the  inside  rod,  the  overdraperies  on 
the  outside  rod.  The  straight  pinch- 
pleated  valance  is  tacked  to  a  flat 
wooden  cornice  placed  just  above 
the  rods  (see  diagram.)

The  Broad  Bedroom  Windows 


This  broad  expanse  of  window  offers 
an  opportunity  for  the  effective  com¬ 
bination  of  cretonne  with  a  harmon¬ 
izing  marquisette  of  plain  color  used 
as  a  shadow  curtain.  The  use  of  this 
plain  shadow  curtain  affords  the  ad¬ 
vantage  of  using  a 
net  of  pronounced 
design.  A  crinkled 
bed  cover  with  pen¬ 
cil  stripes  of  the  pre¬ 
dominating  color  in 
the  hangings  brings 
the  bed  into  close 
relation  with  the  sur¬ 
rounding  furnishings. 

One  pair  of  net  cur¬ 
tains  is  hung  at  each 
window  in  the  group 
of  two.  A  fixture 
carrying  three  rods  is 
attached  to  the  win¬ 
dow  trim.  The  net 
curtains  are  hung 


from  the  inside  rod  and  cover  the 
wooden  strip  separating  the  windows 
as  well  as  the  glass.  This  method  of 
hanging  gives  a  soft,  filmy  appear¬ 
ance  to  the  entire  window  space  and 
diffuses  the  light  agreeably. 

A  shadow  curtain  of 
rose  marquisette  is 
hung  from  the  cen¬ 
tral  rod  and  extends 
fully  6  inches  beyond 
the  overdraperies, 
lending  a  charming 
strip  of  color  at  either 
side  of  the  window. 
The  overdraperies  are 
hung  from  the  out¬ 
side  rods.  The  pinch- 
pleated,  shaped  val¬ 
ance  is  tacked  to  a 
flat  wooden  cornice 
board  placed  on  the 
trim  just  above  the 
rods.  (See  diagram.)

Improving  Awkward  Windows 


Windows  which  are  often  awkwardly 
grouped  may  be  made  attractive  fea¬ 
tures  if  properly  curtained. 

In  this  room,  for  instance,  the  interest 
is  centered  within  the  boundary  of  the 
two  windows.  The  overdraperies, 
which  reach  to  the  floor,  and  the  val¬ 
ance  which  extends  across  the  win¬ 
dows  and  intervening  space,  serves  to 
make  a  unit  of  the  two  separate  win¬ 
dows,  forming  an  attractive  setting 
for  the  cretonne  -  covered  dressing 
table  and  mirror. 

The  net  curtains  are  made  with  a 
1-inch  heading  above  the  casing 
which  holds  the  rod,  a  1-inch  hem  at 
the  center  edges,  a  2l^-inch  hem 
across  the  bottom  and  a  simple  roll 
hem  at  the  back  edges.  Two  widths 
of  net  are  used  at  each  window  and 
hang  straight  to  the  apron  of  the  sill. 
A  fixture  carrying  two  rods  is  used  to 


hold  the  net  curtains  and  side  draper¬ 
ies  (see  A  in  the  diagram).  The  net 
is  hung  from  the  inner  rod  and  the 
side  drapery  from  the  outer  one.  The 
valance  is  tacked  to  a  flat  wooden 
cornice  (see  B)  wliich  is  held  in  place 
with  angle  irons. 

The  bed  cover  and  bureau  scarf  of 
lace  are  placed  over  a  soft  rose  color. 
For  the  bed  cover  there  are  a  num¬ 
ber  of  attractive  Scranton  designs.

A  Bedroom  Bay 


Filet  nets  of  simple  pattern  and  the 
snowy  covering  on  the  beds  offer  a 
restful  contrast  to  the  high  coloring 
in  the  hangings  and  slip  covers. 

The  crochet  bedspreads  are  made  in 
three  sizes. 

The  window  nets  and  draperies  are 
hung  from  a  fixture  carrying  two 
rods.  This  is  placed  upon  the  trim 
of  the  windows.  On  the  inside  rod 
is  hung  two  widths  of  filet  net  which 
fall  perfectly  straight  and  reach  Just 
to  the  sill  line.  A  1-inch  hem  is  used 
at  the  center  edges,  a  2-inch  hem 
across  the  bottom  and  a  simple  roll 
hem  at  the  back  edges.  The  over¬ 
drapery  is  slipped  onto  the  outside 
rod  and  reaches  to  the  lower  edge  of 
the  wooden  strip  beneath  the  sill. 
The  box-pleated  and  shaped  valances 
are  tacked  to  a  flat  wooden  cornice 
board  which  is  supported  by  angle 
irons.  This  is  placed  just  above  the 
rods  carrying  the  net  curtains  and 
overdraperies.

A  Pleasing  Dormer  Window 


The  familiar  dormer  window  fre¬ 
quently  presents  a  problem  that  lends 
itself  to  a  very  happy  solution,  provid¬ 
ing  a  simple  treatment  is  decided 
upon,  and  due  care  is  exercised  in 
selecting  the  nets  and  overdraperies. 
One  fixture  carrying  two  rods  is  all 
that  is  necessary  for  hanging  curtains 
at  windows  treated  as  this  group. 

One  width  of  36-inch  material  is  used 
at  either  end  of  the  group  with  a 
shirred  valance  extending 
between  the  side  curtains. 

The  valance  and  side  cur¬ 
tains  are  placed  on  the  out¬ 
side  rod  (see  A  in  the  dia¬ 
gram)  and  the  net  curtains 
are  hung  from  the  inside 
rod  (see  B).  The  overdrap¬ 
eries  and  valance  are  made 
with  a  1-inch  heading 
above  the  casing,  through 
which  the  brass  rod  is 


slipped.  A  1-inch  hem  is  used  at  the 
bottom  of  the  Valance  and  down 
the  inside  edges  of  the  side  curtains. 
A  2-inch  hem  is  used  at  the  bottom 
of  the  side  curtains,  which  hang  to 
the  apron  of  the  sill. 

The  net  curtains  are  made  with  a 
loose  casing  at  the  top  (without  head¬ 
ing)  through  which  the  brass  rod  is 
slipped;  a  1-inch  hem  at  the  sides 
and  a  2-inch  hem  at  the  bottom. 
These  curtains  reach  just  to  the  sill.

The  Upstairs  Sitting-Room 


The  plain,  ordinary  sitting-room  win¬ 
dow  that  at  first  glance  appears  to 
have  no  particular  individuality,  really 
offers  very  excellent  decorative  possi¬ 
bilities.  For  when  it  is  curtained 
with  suitable  laces,  in  combination 
with  overdraperies  which  emphasize 
the  beauty  of  the  net,  such  a  window 
becomes  decidedly  attractive. 

For  the  average  size  window  one 
width  of  net  is  sufficient  for  each  cur¬ 
tain — a  1-inch  hem  is  used  down  the 
center  edge,  a  2-inch  hem  across 
the  bottom  and  a  simple  roll  hem  at 
the  back  edge.  A  loose  casing,  with¬ 
out  heading,  is  made  at  the  top  which 
holds  the  rod. 

A  fixture  carrying  rwo  rods  is  used 
(see  A  in  the  diagram).  The  over¬ 
drapery  hangs  from  the  outside  rod 
and  the  nets  from  the  inner  rod.  The 
valance  is  mounted  on  a  broad  metal

tains  should  be

apron  of  the  sills. 

This  treatment  will  improve  not  only 
the  window  but  the  whole  room.

For  the  Nursery  Windows 


Cheerful,  sunshiny  expanses  of  win¬ 
dow  are  perhaps  of  greater  value  in 
the  children’s  nursery  than  in  any 
other  room  of  the  house.  Also  there 
is  probably  no  window  that  requires 
a  more  serviceable  curtain. 

Marquisettes  are  particularly  adapted 
to  nursery  use.  These  are  made 
32  to  36  inches  wide  by  2^ 
yards  long'and  have  a  2-inch 
hemstitched  hem  at  the  center 
edge,  and  across  the  bottom 
are  finished  with  an  attractive 
narrow  lace  edge.  Many  of 
these  have  inserts  of  lace  me¬ 
dallions  and  insertion  which 
take  away  the  severely  plain 
effect  of  the  marquisette. 

These  are  shown  caught  back 
in  soft  folds  with  cord  and 
tassel  loops — an  attractive  ar¬ 
rangement. 


The  rods  holding  the  marquisette 
curtains  and  overdraperies  are  attached 
to  one  fixture  (se&  A  in  the  diagram). 
The  marquisettes  hang  from  the  inner 
rod  and  the  over  curtain  from  the  outer 
rod.  The  valance  is  tacked  to  a  flat 
wooden  cornice  (see  B)  fastened  to  the 
window  trim  with  angle

Effective  Nets  for  Large  Window  Spaces 


Sunshine  should  be  the  first  consid¬ 
eration  in  the  household  nursery.  At 
the  same  time  we  need  to  keep  in 
mind  the  value  of  harmonious  sur¬ 
roundings  in  the  early  environment 
of  the  child.  Simplicity  should  be 
keynote  for  the  furnishings.  While 
the  window  is  the  great  essential  in 
this  particular  room,  so  likewise  is 
the  curtaining,  for  the  window  be¬ 
comes  a  focal  point  in  the  decoration 
of  the  room. 

The  net  curtains,  which  should  be 
simple  in  design,  are  made  to  hang 
straight  to  the  sill  from  a  %-inch 
brass  rod  placed  between  the  win¬ 
dow  casings  (see  A  in  the  diagram). 
These  curtains  are  woven  2}4  yards 
in  length  and  finished  across  the  bot¬ 
tom  with  a  3^-inch  fringe.  The 
only  sewing  required  is  the  making 
of  a  loose  casing  at  the  top  through 
which  the  rod  is  run. 


The  overdraperies  of  cretonne  are 
hung  from  a  rod  placed  on  the  trim 
of  the  window  and  supported  by  a 
fixture  carrying  two  rods  (see  B). 
From  the  inner  one  hangs  the  cre¬ 
tonne  curtain,  and  upon  the  outer 
one  the  valance  is  shirred.  The  brass 
rods  may  be  bent  to  conform  with 
the  curve  of  the  window.  It  is,  of 
course,  necessary  to  use  rod  sup¬ 
ports  at  close  intervals  to  prevent 
the  rods  from  sagging  and 
spoiling  the  effect.

Leadership  in  Laee 

The  page  opposite  graphically  illustrates  the  rapid  growth  by  which 
The  Scranton  Lace  Company  has  reached  its  present  position  of 
dominance  in  the  lace  industry  of  America.  The  whole  history  of 
The  Scranton  Lace  Company  has  been  one  of  leadership.  Its  policy 
has  always  been  to  anticipate  the  needs  of  the  trade,  and  to  cater  to 
them;  to  deal  courteously,  promptly  and  helpfully  with  every 
customer;  to  be  aggressive  in  offering  novelties,  new  ideas  and 
selling  assistance;  to  be,  in  fact  as  well  as  in  name,  a  leader,  and 
always  to  act  as  a  leader  should  act. 

We  were  the  first  manufacturers  of  Filet  Net  in  this  country.  At  an 
increased  expense  of  20  per  cent,  we  use  combed  yarn,  giving  a 
cleaner,  brighter  fabric. 

We  originated  for  general  use  the  two-and-one-half  yard  curtain. 

The  “Redypakd”  package,  which  makes  curtains  easier  to  sell,  and 
eliminates  mussed  and  soiled  goods,  was  invented  and  is  patented 
by  us. 

We  are  the  only  lace  manufacturers  who  carry  a  full  line  of 
novelty  curtains. 

Bedspreads 

The  latest  addition  is  a  mill  devoted  exclusively  to  the  manufacture 
of  bedspreads.  The  new  line  of  Scranton  Bedspreads  is  finding  a 
ready  sale  everywhere.  There  are  many  beautiful  designs  in  mar- 
seilles,  satins,  dimities  and  crinkled  dimities,  as  well  as  a  generous 
variety  of  styles  in  colored  bedspreads. 

In  regular  service  to  customers — In  correspondence,  packing,  deliv¬ 
eries— we  insist  at  all  times  upon  the  highest  standard  of  efficiency. 

The  spirit  of  Scranton  is  leadership,  and  the  merchants  who  main¬ 
tain  close  relationship  with  the  House  of  Scranton  share  in  the 
benefits  of  that  leadership.
